Why else would someone be worried about what a church is or isn't paying in taxes unless they are looking for more revenue. Revenue funds the government. Therefore it's totally on point. Or is it the church not paying their fair share? Churches do so much for the community, if you take that money outreach programs suffer.

as for the argument at hand, i really don't know. i think tax exemption is fair in principle because the majority of churches pour a significant portion of their income into outreach programs domestically and internationally. where the line becomes blurry is when you get certain churches inviting politicians to campaign stumping opportunities at the pulpit (when i was a brainwashed republican highschooler the pastor of my fundamentalist southern baptist church invited noted asshole vernon robinson take twenty minutes before the sermon to campaign for himself, just as an example.)
